Every kid who’s grown up in the United States since 1969 has contemplated whether they’re a Fred, Daphne, Velma or Shaggy. Since I’ve long known I am the last, I jumped at the chance to preview the experience and spend a night in the Mystery Machine.
“I’ve been channeling Shaggy since the live-action adaptation in 2002, and he’s been a part of me ever since,” Lillard, 52, says. “I can’t wait to welcome guests into the world of the Mystery Inc. gang as their Airbnb Host and give them a summer vacation they’ll never forget… monsters not included!”
After a relaxing Uber ride up the Pacific Coast Highway, I found myself in a serene mountain oasis with the Mystery Machine all prepped for a night of glamping, complete with a heavenly ocean view.

Although it’s a snug fit for two, the van provides a cozy refuge at the end of the night, decorated with more props, including a lava lamp, a Motorola Razr and some top secret Mystery Inc. files.
During my overnight attempt at van life, I found myself making the most of my sweet escape in the hammock, peering out at the ocean and vibing out.
The Verdict:
